Awaiting the next war with
sad certainty,
I hear the shrills of the
Red-tailed Hawks —
whose menacing cries
often mistaken for
the Bald Eagle's pride.

Sharpening their talons,
they brew a kettle above,
while building their nests
of steel and bone
in ruins below.

An unborn child,
not even a twinkle in
the hawk's focused eye —
doesn't yet even know
the wasteful way
he will die.
